السندباد الأعمى: أطلس البحر والحرب

A single incident on a Kuwaiti beach changes the lives of four people: Nadia, a dreamy wife who writes and hopes to publish her first novel, dies in an accident, and her absence stays at the center of the story. Her husband Nawaf, their daughter Manair and the family friend Amer each live with what followed.

The narrative moves between the past and the present, from the Gulf War of the 1990s to the COVID-19 pandemic. It follows friendship, love, doubt and certainty, and the difference between blindness and insight.

Sectarian prejudice, which kept Amer, a Shia, from marrying Nadia, a Sunni, runs through the plot, as does a critique of a patriarchal society that sides with men and treats honor crimes leniently. Through Manair's eyes the book also traces how Kuwaiti society has changed.

Published by Takween Publications in 2021 and described by its publisher as a social historical novel.
